Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass deep processing technology, specifically relating to a large rotating glass frame. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the high density and fragility of glass, glass handling is difficult and dangerous, especially for large glass panes that are 9 meters long. They cannot be lifted directly and currently require specialized equipment (aircraft carrier transport vehicles) to lift and move the entire glass frame. This process is very slow, time-consuming, and extremely dangerous. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a large rotating glass rack that reduces the number of handling operations, saving labor and costs. The specific solution is as follows:
[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, one or more embodiments of this application provide a large rotating glass frame, comprising:
[0005] The system comprises a base frame, a track, and a rotating platform. The track is laid on both sides of the base frame, and the base frame is slidably connected to the track. The rotating platform includes a disc mechanism, a slewing bearing, a rotary motor, and a rotating panel. The disc mechanism is connected to the base frame via several lifting cylinders, and the rotating panel is connected to the disc mechanism via the slewing bearing, allowing the rotating panel to rotate relative to the disc mechanism. The rotary motor is fixed to the disc mechanism, and a rotary gear is mounted on the shaft of the rotary motor. The rotary gear meshes with the gear of the slewing bearing, and the glass frame is placed on the rotating panel and rotates synchronously.
[0006] Based on the above technical solution of this utility model, the following improvements can also be made:
[0007] Optionally, the outer periphery of the disc mechanism is provided with a plurality of rotating rollers, and the rotating rollers located under the rotating panel abut against the lower end of the rotating panel.
[0008] Optionally, the disc mechanism is provided with clamping mechanisms at both ends. Each clamping mechanism includes two sets of clamping assemblies arranged in opposite directions. Each clamping assembly includes a clamping frame, a clamping cylinder, and a hook. The clamping frame has sliding grooves on both sides. One end of the clamping cylinder is rotatably connected to the clamping frame through a cylinder shaft, and the other end of the clamping cylinder is rotatably connected to the hook through another cylinder shaft. The sliding groove is L-shaped, and the bottom of the hook slides along the sliding groove to change the posture and position of the hook.
[0009] Optionally, the lower end of the hook is provided with two sets of rolling components. The rolling components include needle roller bearings and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through both sides of the hook. The needle roller bearings are located at both ends of the rotating shaft and slide within the groove. The rotating panel has two clamping holes at each end. The hook clamps the glass frame inward through the clamping holes.
[0010] Optionally, the rotating panel is provided with multiple fine-tuning mechanisms, each including a balance plate, a fine-tuning plate, clamping plates, a balance shaft, a hanging component, and a fixing component. The fine-tuning plate is located above the rotating panel, and the balance plate is located below the rotating panel. The fine-tuning plate and the balance plate are fixedly connected by several balance shafts. The rotating panel has a balance groove to allow the balance shafts to move. The upper end of the hanging component is fixedly connected to the rotating panel, and the lower end of the hanging component passes through the rotating panel and is rotatably connected to two clamping plates via the upper end of the balance shaft. The fixing component is rotatably connected to the lower ends of the two clamping plates via the balance shaft. There is a gap between the fixing component and the hanging component for adjusting the deflection displacement.
[0011] Optionally, the upper surface of the fine-tuning plate is higher than the upper surface of the lifting component.
[0012] Optionally, the large rotating glass frame also includes a roller mechanism located below both ends of the rotating panel. The roller mechanism includes several horizontal rollers that support the rotating panel during translation.
[0013] Optionally, the outer side of the track is provided with a rack connecting plate, and a traveling rack is fixed at the upper end of the rack connecting plate; a traveling motor is provided on the base frame, and the traveling motor is driven to a traveling shaft. The two ends of the traveling shaft are connected to the two sides of the base frame through bearing seats, and cylindrical gears are provided at both ends of the traveling shaft, which mesh with the traveling rack.
[0014] Optionally, the hook has a cushioning pad on its inner side.
[0015] Optionally, the large rotating glass frame is located below ground level.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this invention provides a large rotating glass rack, which reduces the number of handling operations. Large glass racks typically hold glass on both sides; after one side of the glass is loaded, a transport vehicle is needed to rotate the rack to load the other side. Our rotating glass rack, however, does not require a transport vehicle and can rotate 180 degrees to turn itself around. This significantly reduces the workload of transport vehicles.
[0017] Saving labor costs: Turning a glass shelf requires three people – a carrier-grade vehicle driver and two safety supervisors, one in front and one behind. However, using a 9-meter large rotating glass shelf eliminates the need for human intervention.
[0018] Cost savings are achieved because the use of rotating glass frames reduces the number of times the aircraft carrier transport vehicle can be used by half, and the cost of supporting equipment for the aircraft carrier transport vehicle can also be halved. The cost of an aircraft carrier is 500 to 600 million, so the cost savings are considerable. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model embodiment discloses a large rotating glass frame 2.
[0034] The system includes a base frame 5, a track 4, and a rotating platform. The track 4 is laid on both sides of the base frame 5, and the base frame 5 is slidably connected to the track 4. The rotating platform includes a disc mechanism 6, a slewing bearing 15, a rotary motor 17, and a rotating panel 8. The disc mechanism 6 is connected to the base frame 5 through several lifting cylinders 14, and the rotating panel 8 is connected to the disc mechanism 6 through the slewing bearing 15, so that the rotating panel 8 can rotate relative to the disc mechanism 6. The rotary motor 17 is fixed on the disc mechanism 6, and a rotary gear 16 is sleeved on the shaft of the rotary motor 17. The rotary gear 16 meshes with the gear of the slewing bearing 15, and the glass holder 2 is placed on the rotating panel 8 and rotates synchronously.
[0035] In this embodiment, the base frame 5 slides on the track 4, used to move the entire base frame 5 and the rotating platform located on the base frame 5 to the vicinity of the loading machine 3, and to move in the opposite direction, providing the space required for the rotation of the rotating platform. The disc mechanism 6 is connected to the base frame 5 via a lifting cylinder 14. The lifting cylinder is used to lift the disc mechanism 6 to obtain rotation space and to adjust the horizontal position of the glass holder 2 and the loading machine 3. The slewing bearing 15 connects the rotating panel 8 and the disc mechanism 6, providing a rotation mechanism so that the rotating panel 8 can rotate relative to the disc mechanism 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, an external toothed slewing bearing is used, and the rotary motor 17 is also located outside the slewing bearing 15. In other embodiments, an internal toothed slewing bearing 15 can be used instead, and the position of the rotary motor 17 will also change accordingly. The rotation of the rotary motor 17 further drives the rotation of the rotary support, thereby causing the rotary panel 8 to rotate. Simultaneously, the glass holder 2 located on the rotary panel 8 is rotated, that is, it is used to replace the glass holder 2 after one side is full of glass, and then the glass holder 2 is replaced on the other side of the glass holder 2 so that the glass loading machine 3 can continue to load glass.
[0036] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the disc mechanism 6 is provided with a plurality of rotating rollers 13, and the rotating rollers 13 located under the rotating panel 8 abut against the lower end of the rotating panel 8.
[0037] It is understood that in this embodiment, the rotating wheel 13 consists of a base and a wheel. The base is fixed to the upper surface of the outer periphery of the disc mechanism 6, and the wheel faces upward, which is used to provide support on the surface of the circumference when the rotating panel 8 rotates to above the wheel.
[0038] In this embodiment, the disc mechanism 6 is provided with clamping mechanisms 36 at both ends. Each clamping mechanism 36 includes two sets of clamping assemblies arranged in opposite directions. Each clamping assembly includes a clamping frame 26, a clamping cylinder 23, and a hook 24. The clamping frame 26 has sliding grooves 27 on both sides. One end of the clamping cylinder 23 is rotatably connected to the clamping frame 26 through a cylinder shaft 25, and the other end of the clamping cylinder 23 is rotatably connected to the hook 24 through another cylinder shaft 25. The sliding groove 27 is L-shaped, and the bottom of the hook 24 slides along the sliding groove 27 to change the posture and position of the hook 24.
[0039] It is understood that in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 36 is used to clamp the rotating panel 8 during movement. On the one hand, it can prevent the influence of centrifugal force during rotation, and on the other hand, it can adjust and fix the position of the rotating panel 8. Specifically, the action of the clamping cylinder 23 will drive the hook 24 to slide along the direction of the slide groove 27. In this embodiment, an L-shaped slide groove 27 is used, with the front end of the slide groove 27 parallel and the end downward. Therefore, during the first part of the slide, the hook 24 will move horizontally, clamping inward and releasing outward. During the second part of the slide, the hook 24 will move along the downward part of the slide groove 27. At this time, the hook 24 will have a downward movement tendency, so that the hook 24 can be lower than the plane where the first part of the slide is located, so as not to affect other actions of the upper part of the structure after retrieval.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lower end of the hook 24 is provided with two sets of rolling components. The rolling components include needle roller bearings 28 and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through both sides of the hook 24. The needle roller bearings 28 are disposed at both ends of the rotating shaft and slide within the slide groove 27. The rotating panel 8 has two clamping holes at both ends. The hook 24 clamps the glass frame 2 inward through the clamping holes.
[0041] It is understood that in this embodiment, the hook 24 is supported by a needle roller bearing 28 connected to the cylinder shaft 25 and the rotating shaft. The needle roller bearing 28 is located in the slide groove 27, while the main body of the hook 24 is located in the clamping frame 26. When the needle roller bearing 28 moves to the lower section of the L-shaped slide groove 27, the hook 24 will tilt backward to lower its posture. After lowering, it will be lower than the rotating platform and disengage from the clamping hole, thus not affecting the rotation of the rotating platform.
[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating panel 8 is provided with multiple fine-tuning mechanisms 10. Each fine-tuning mechanism 10 includes a balance plate 29, a fine-tuning plate 34, a clamping plate 32, a balance shaft 30, a hanging member 31, and a fixing member 33. The fine-tuning plate 34 is located above the rotating panel 8, and the balance plate 29 is located below the rotating panel 8. The fine-tuning plate 34 and the balance plate 29 are fixedly connected by several balance shafts 30. The rotating panel 8 has a balance groove 35 that allows the balance shafts 30 to move. The upper end of the hanging member 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating panel 8, and the lower end of the hanging member 31 passes through the rotating panel 8 and is rotatably connected to the two clamping plates 32 through the upper end of the balance shaft 30. The fixing member 33 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the two clamping plates 32 through the balance shaft 30. There is a gap between the fixing member 33 and the hanging member 31 for adjusting the deflection displacement.
[0043] Understandably, the glass holder 2 is placed on the three fine adjustment plates 34 on the rotating panel 8. The fine adjustment plates 34 can move back and forth. The purpose is to ensure that the glass holder 2 is not parallel to the film loading machine 3 when it is placed on the panel. With the cooperation of the clamping mechanism 36, the glass holder 2 can be corrected to be parallel to the film loading machine 3.
[0044] Specifically, since the hanging member 31 is fixed on the rotating panel 8, and the lower part of the hanging member 31 is movably connected to the balance plate 29, specifically, the balance plate 29 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 33, and the fixing member 33 and the hanging member 31 are rotatably connected to the two clamping plates 32 through shafts respectively. Therefore, the balance plate 29 can translate a certain angle based on this rotational relationship. The required translation angle is determined by factors including the length of the clamping plates 32, the gap between the hanging member 31 and the fixing member 33 within the clamping plates 32, and the size of the balance groove 35. The balance plate 29 is fixedly connected to the fine-tuning plate 34 through several balance shafts 30. Therefore, the translation of the balance plate 29 will cause the fine-tuning plate 34 to translate within the balance groove 35, thus completing the fine-tuning action.
[0045] In one embodiment, since the glass holder 2 is placed perpendicular to the fine-tuning plate 34, during the clamping mechanism 36 clamps the glass holder 2 inward, the glass holder 2 will move in the lateral direction based on the fine-tuning plate 34 at a set angle limit, allowing for position fine-tuning.
[0046] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the fine-tuning plate 34 is higher than the upper surface of the hanging member 31. That is, when the glass frame 2 is finely adjusted, the upper end of the hanging member 31 will not be disturbed. When the rotating panel 8 is thick enough, the hanging member 31 can be hidden, that is, located inside the rotating panel 8.
[0047] In an embodiment, the large rotating glass frame 2 further includes a roller mechanism 7, which is located below both ends of the rotating panel 8. The roller mechanism 7 includes several horizontal rollers, which support the rotating panel 8 during translation.
[0048] Understandably, the towing mechanism 7 is used to further support the rotating panel 8. Because the glass frame 2 is relatively long, and the rotating platform is also relatively long for large glass, the towing mechanism 7 is set up to provide further support for structural stability, so as to prevent the middle of the rotating platform from being subjected to excessive force and the ends from deforming due to lack of support.
[0049] In this embodiment, a rack connecting plate 11 is provided on the outer side of the track 4, and a traveling rack 12 is fixed on the upper end of the rack connecting plate 11; a traveling motor 18 is provided on the base frame 5, and the traveling motor 18 is connected to a traveling shaft 19. The two ends of the traveling shaft 19 are connected to the two sides of the base frame 5 through bearing seats 20. Cylindrical gears 21 are provided at both ends of the traveling shaft 19, and the cylindrical gears 21 mesh with the traveling rack 12.
[0050] It is understood that in this embodiment, the rack connecting plate 11 includes a horizontal extension section and a vertical extension section. The horizontal extension section is directly fixedly connected to the track 4, and the vertical extension section is vertically connected to the horizontal extension section. The traveling rack 12 is fixed at the end of the vertical extension section. In this embodiment, it is set to have the rack direction downward. Under the action of the traveling motor 18, it drives the traveling shaft 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the cylindrical gear 21 to rotate, thereby moving along the direction of the traveling rack 12, i.e., the direction of the track 4, to adjust the position of the entire device in the horizontal direction.
[0051] In this embodiment, the inner side of the hook 24 has a buffer pad 22, and the buffer pad 22 also has a slot that can engage with the side of the glass holder 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, the large rotating glass frame 2 is located below the ground level 1.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the underground space includes at least two gradients. The lowest space is used to lay the track 4 and the base frame 5, while the upper space is used to lay the towing mechanism 7 to support the rotating platform. The disc mechanism 6 has an opening 37, and the lowest space has a corresponding limit wall 9. When the opening 37 is aligned with the limit wall 9, it can be restricted. Simultaneously, the limit wall 9 also provides support for the middle part of the loading machine 3.
[0054] It should be noted that all electrical devices in this embodiment are powered by an external power source. This embodiment is only used to solve the proposed technical problem. Additional technical problems arising in the process of solving the corresponding technical problem will be addressed in other patent applications.
[0055] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0056] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
